have your say
Liam Fitzsimmons thinks the best way to Ireland was from Liverpool to Dublin on the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company (Fast Ferry) SuperSeaCat from March 1998 till November 2004.
Kim Knight from Bootle made this suggestion in March 2007:
"I think the best way to cross the Irish Sea these days is By Norfolkline Irish Sea Ferry Services From Liverpool to Dublin or Belfast.
It's beautiful when you see Liverpool fading into the background, but it's sad to leave Liverpool, (even if it's for only 2 weeks)."
Which do you think is the best way to cross the Irish Sea?
